{"product_id":"a-higher-throne-272675","title":"A Higher Throne","description":"This volume, based on the Eleventh Oak Hill Annual School of Theology, offers a conversation among those who represent a consistently orthodox evangelicalism, who see public life in relation to the Christian gospel in quite different ways, but who are committed to thinking biblically about the matter and coming to a common mind. ??* What is 'public theology'? * Does it mean the arts? * Public policy? * Party politics?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe answer is: probably all of these. Here we are dealing with a rather ill-formed topic, on which there has not been a consistent viewpoint.????*\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Strange\u003c\/strong\u003e*  lectures in Public Theology at Oak Hill College. He gives a summary of the state of the debate, with both historical and contemporary viewpoints.??*\u003cstrong\u003eKirsten Birkett\u003c\/strong\u003e* has a distinguished publishing record as a simplifier and communicator of complex ideas. She summarizes relevant aspects of the thought of probably the most significant but complex of contemporary evangelical writers, Oliver O'Donovan.??*\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Field\u003c\/strong\u003e* takes us back to a great Scottish theologian of the seventeenth century, Samuel Rutherford, whose masterpiece Lex, rex which later provided a theological basis for the American Constitution was condemned in England as treasonable.??*\u003cstrong\u003eGarry Williams\u003c\/strong\u003e* shows how contemporary theories about the cross of Christ reflect different understandings of how punishment might rightly operate, in the context of justice and law.??A sermon by *\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Field\u003c\/strong\u003e* concludes the volume.??These stimulating analyses will enable readers to come to a clearer view of what Public Theology is, and how we may apply it.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51572893581599,"sku":"9781844742776","price":31.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9781844742776_117635.jpg?v=1769400165","url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/products\/a-higher-throne-272675","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
